Do Fashion Designers Make Their Items Deliberately Small?
If you’re someone that isn’t stick thin and yet still likes to look good, it can be hard finding ladies designer clothes that fit you perfectly. It’s a good thing if you have curves, but fashion designers don’t seem to think like that and that’s why their clothes always run much smaller than high street labels. Through many years of designer clothes being available, the fact they are small sized doesn’t seem to have changed at all.
Naturally, women want to look and feel good which is why ladies designer clothes are such a popular option. But the fact is, if you’re curvaceous, designer fashion can be very unflattering. For a start, you have to find a designer piece in your size, and as everything seems to be getting smaller these days, it can feel like a nightmare task trying to find the right ladies designer clothes to wear. It is interesting to note how designer clothes are always on the small side, so whereas you might be a size UK 8 in normal clothes, you would probably have to buy a size 10 to be able to fit into it. Slim women can also appreciate the nightmare battle with smaller sized designer clothes, which is why they often take drastic measures to fit into their favourite clothes.
It is clear that fashion designers make their clothes slightly smaller so that they look their very best when on the catwalk and being worn by the very thin models. However, the reality is that there are many women of different shapes and sizes that still want to be able to wear the latest ladies designer clothes. It is sad that many fashion designers only envisage slim women wearing their clothes.
Luckily, this is not the end, and there are some fashion designers that are making their clothes a ‘true’ size UK 12 for example, meaning real women can fit into their pieces finally. One brand, Juicy Couture, used to be well known for making small clothes, but their sizing is much more ‘true to size’ these days, which bodes well for other brands potentially doing the same.
